ELECTIONS IN THEsOUrH,
MT. Chandler Introduces Bill t.
 Regulate she Choice of Congress

MT. Chandler Introduces a Bill to
 Regulate she Choice of Congress-
 men.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Senator Chandler has introduced bill to regulate the holding of congressional elections in South Carolina Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana. It pro- vides for the appointment by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, of four supervisors of election for each con- gressional district in the States to which the measure applies, who are required to sub-di- vide the district into sufficient number of voting precincts. In each precinct the circuit court of the United States is to appoint four inspectors and two poll clerks who are to make registration of the voters and conduct congressional elec- tions. The supervisors are to act as a can wasting board to receive the returns from the inspectors and ascertain and declare the re- suit of the election. The supervisors, in- spectors and poll clerks are to be divided equally between the two principal parties. The measure is made applicable only to the States of South Carolina, Florida, Mississ sippi and Louisanr. It is elaborately drawn and contains minute provisions governing the whole matter of registration and conduit of elections, together with penalties for cleo tion frauds.
 Mr. Chandler told reporter o-day that the bill was drawn upon that clause of the constitution which provides that the times, places and manner of holding elections for representatives shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof, but Con gress may by law make or alter such regula- ton. He said the constitutional power is am- pie either to pass general law for all States, one applicable to number of States, or special law in respect to any particular State It is my desire, he continued, to secure if possible the passage of national election law In those States where there is a manifest and avowed suppression ofRepublican suffrage In Louisiana the Democratic leaders declare their intention not to allow colored people to vote the Republican ticket and have also asserted their intention to settle this question without the slightest regard for northern sentiment on the subject Hence I think that both northern sentiment and in terest should lead to the passage of laws to limit the suppression of the suffrage to elections for State officers and give us free suffrage for national officers" MT. Chandler said his measure did not cover presidential electors for the reason the constitution gave no au- thority for it. He believed the bill or sim liar one will pass the Senate and hoped it may pass the House.

Death of a Noted Circus Man.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Dec. 13.-William W. Nichols, aged sixty-six, for many years proprietor of a circus in Boston, died here at his home on Meadow street this morning of apoplexy. He had been in business as rider since he was twelve years old and was one of the partners in Goodwin 6 Wilder's circus. Leaving Boston in 1864 he became sole pros prietor of Lent's circus, borrowing Lent's name. He furnished the money to build the old Fourteenth street hippodrome in New York, his horses and property being used to open the building. He started circus for South America in 1865, was shipwreeked off Florida and lost every dollar he had. Since then he had ridden for salary. He was one of the best riders in the business and a great favorite in the West and South and Central and South America where he was made an honorary member of the Artistic society. He had been paid $100 night. He received an injury in South America years ago, which it is thought hastened his death.

NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND. Faster Ifme and Better Service Re- tween Boston and New York, BosroN, Mass, Dec. 13-The annual meeting of the New York and New England railroad was called to order by President Bostwick President Bostwick talked for 8 few minutes of the purposes of the manage ment. He made few significant remarks in regard to better train facilities between Bos-
 ton and New York. He felt that better cars and better time should be furnished; but
 they had not been able thus far to secure the cooperation of connecting lines. As good
 trains on this short line to New York should
 be furnished as on any railroad in the United States. No good reason exists why five and one-half hours should not be easily made in the present condition of the property, and five hours is easily possible with some i'm provements MT. Bostwick said: If we don't get these trains it won't be our fault" The stockholders voted to authorize the directors to issue bonds to the extent of S1, ,5O0, ,O00 secured by the terminal lands in Boston. An important amendment was made to the bylaws and balloting was then begun for nineteen directors and to see if the stockholders will confirm the lease by the New YOIk ana NeW En8lduo OI Lu6 lOl- lowing roads: Milford and Woonsocket, Mil- ford, Franklin and Providence, Massachusetts and Rhode Island in Massachusetts, and Massachusetts and Rhode Isl- and in Rhode Island. There was but one ticket in the field for directors which is as follows: Eustace c. Fitz, Jonas H. French, William P. Shinn and Sterne Morse of Boston; Moses T. Stevens of North Andover, Nicholas Sheldon and B. F. Vaughn of Providence, James L. Howard of Hartford, William H. Steven son of Bridgeport, George NJ. Landers of New Britain, Thomas Rutter, William H. Starbuck, John L. Macaulay, AL exander E. Orr, Sidney Dillon, Exstine Nor ton, Henry Hentz, J. A. Bostwick and E. V. Cary of New York. Sterne Morse, Moses T. Stevens, J. L. Howard, A. E. Orr, E. Nor ton, Henry Hentz and E. V. Gary are new names, sue, eeding George M. Rice, F. J. Kingsbury, Elijah Smith, A. E. Bateman, Herman Clark, T. w. Pesrsan and J. G. Moore
 When the result of the ballot for directors was announced late in the day it appeared that the total number of shares voted was 150, ,017, all of which were cast for the names on the list of directors printed. The same vote was also given in approval of the leases of the railroad, the vote being unanimous for the ticket presented in it's entirety

 Mir. Dolph called up the bill introduced by him yesterday to provide for Notifications and other seq coast defenses. He spoke of the defenceless condition of the coast as one which was not creditable to Congress or to the nation. The people were waiting pa- tiently for Congress to appropriate for the purpose of sea coast defenses some of the idle millions in the treasury. It was the part of wisdom to appropriate in one bill the amount nec- essary for Notifications, providing for its expenditure from year to year. His bill proceeds upon that principle. It appropriated S126, 900, 900 to be available as recommended by the board of Notifications, $21, 300, 900 for the first two years and $9, 1000, 900 for each of the eleven years thereafter until the whole amount was expended. This was the only course by which speedy construction of sea coast Notifications could be secured on any general and suitable plan. He moved the reference of the bill to the committee on and the Senate at half past 1 adjourned until tomorrow.

Boys Who are Candidates for Durance
 Vile.

On Saturday evening number of urchins who frequent the vestibule of the postofioe amused themselves by trying the boxes in the north end of the office The one occupied by the National Tradesmens bank was open ed and eight letters (not fifty as stated in an evening paper) were taken out and the box closed.
 The boys then with the greatest coolness proceeded to investigate their haul, opening the letters in the vestibule and throwing the envelopes in the waste paper box. They took the contents, consisting of checks on various banks in New Haven and elsewhere, drafts and notes, and distributed them about town as snowman would the hand bills announc- ing coming entertainment.
 The officers of the bank will be pleased if merchants or others thus favored by the boys will kindly hand in to the bank any of the items contained in the stolen letters.
